Crazy Credits

With each passing year (or season) the title of the show (seen when the theme song is playing) decays a little more. Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd confirmed this.

User Reviews

Started great. Going on too long now.

Watched this from season 1 to the end of season 8/start of season 9. It started brilliant and although a few episodes were a little slow either showing back stories or just building for finales it was still enjoyable with lots of twists and turns with an ever constant threat from either zombies or humans. Unfortunately towards the final few seasons the writing went downhill with a number of the original characters leaving and lots of new ones introduced who you just can't feel the same for. I personally got very bored and for only the second time gave up on a series (in season 9). I think it's just gone on a bit too long and is a bit repetitive with new 'villains' appearing every season or two. Like I say, started brilliantly and I will remember with good memories. If/when I know there's a final season I'll probably watch Just to see how it ends but hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later.
